Second Saturday Divorce Workshops[4] are a cost-effective and sensible way to get the answers to the questions you have, and to learn about the questions you haven’t yet considered. Each class is jointly taught by Family Attorneys, Certified Divorce Financial Analysts and Family Communication Specialists/Therapists.

The workshop provides a clear understanding of the divorce process with an emphasis on property settlement, parenting plans, child support and spousal maintenance, as well as the different options available to reach agreements: without third party assistance (kitchen table), mediation, collaboration, arbitration and litigation. The focus is to provide resources and discuss topics that cover legal issues, financial aspects, and the emotional well-being of the couple and their family.

“Second Saturday divorce workshops are currently underway in over 30 cities across the nation. My associates and I knew that it was a great workshop. We knew that the amount of information that is provided would be valuable to anyone that is going through or even thinking about, a divorce or legal separation. What I didn’t expect, was the gratitude that we received from those who have already attended a workshop. The feedback has been extremely positive and it has solidified our original thought that not only would this be helpful, but that it’s necessary for couples who are going through such a difficult time. It addresses a multitude of questions and when people leave, they feel calm, and centered emotionally. They know that they are not alone and appreciate the resources that have been made available to them.”
